Now a few pence is of course very little, but the more clicks the advertisements receive the money pence you’ll get. In practice you’ll need these adverts to get a great amount of clicks, which can only be done through your blog attracting a great amount of visitors.

Guest Blogging

SEO dominates much of the internet and many companies will pay you to post articles on your website for the purpose of such articles having a backlink or two to their business.

If your blog has a high online standing and plenty of visitors you can charge guest bloggers to host material on your website.

When it comes to building a brand, visibility is valuable and so many businesses will pay you money to have their brand displayed on your blog.

A CPM advert needs to be hosted under a CPM program. The more impressions an advert gets, through page visitors, the more money you will receive.
